In fact most of the principal\r\npeople of the town had come to live about\r\nthe vale. The vicar, and the principal manufacturers,\r\nthe Jorrings, who were county people, and\r\nMr. Belfort the banker, and Mrs. Durand, and the\r\nSelways, and old Dr. Speight, and the Norburys,\r\nhad handsome houses and kept their carriages.\r\nEven the Barton doctor, Mr. Torridge, was more\r\nin the vale than in the town; and the solicitor\r\nhad a pretty little villa next door to the old-fashioned\r\nhouse that Miss Grantley had taken to\r\nopen a school in.\nMost of these folks knew Miss Grantley; and\r\nmany of them loved her as much as her girls did,\r\nfor some of the girls belonged to the families I\r\nhave mentioned. They came to her school as daily\r\npupils instead of being sent to the cathedral town\r\nto live away from home; and that was one reason\r\nthat she got on so well, for the dear old vicar and\r\nhis wife had known her parents, and would have\r\nliked her to make the vicarage her home. The\r\nbanker's married daughter, Mrs. Norbury, had\r\nbeen a schoolfellow of Miss Grantley, and called\r\nher \"dear Bessie\" when they met, and wanted to\r\ntake lessons of her in French and German; because[11]\r\nMiss Grantley had studied abroad, and spoke both\r\nthese languages very well.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 28996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Archer, Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 30, 2009 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Archer, Thomas,1830-1893 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219113509021,"sku":"gb-28996-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/28996.jpg?v=1671515151","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/miss-grantley-s-girls-and-the-stories-she-told-them-gb-28996","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
